% WITNESSES tying and filling oilers.

oiler, the, amount being determined by an adjustable gage or stop, h, on the piston-rod, which determines the length of the pistons stroke.

The oiler is applied to the spout or nozzlei of the pump.

In the drawings the spout is shown coupled to the connecting-pipe k, which leads up into the elevated fountain B but the arrangement is also applicable to the purpose of filling oilers from the said spout.

This construction alone does not provide for emptying the oilers before filling. To do this the construction shown in Fig. 5 is employed. In'this construction, in addition to the spout 'i, at the upper end of the pump-barrel, is another spout, l, of nearly the same height, but con nected with the pump-barrel near the bottom thereof by a pipe, m, closed by an upwardlyopening valve, 12.. The piston f also is made solid by putting a solid disk, 0, over the valveplate g. As the piston is drawn upward it fills the barrel of the pump below it, drawing the oil up through the pipe I) from the reservoir below. Then, as the piston descends it forces the same oil up through the pipe m and fills the oiler 10 (shown in dotted lines) applied at the spout I. At the same time another oiler q, (also shown in dotted lines,) applied at the spout i, is emptied of any oil remaining therein from the previous filling by the descent of the piston. This spout reaches to the bottom of the oiler.

In Fig. 6 a single spout serves both for emp- Here the inductionpipe I connects with the pump-barrel at the side near the bottom thereof, and connects with an elevating-pipe, 1*, which terminates in a spout, s, at the top. The said pipe 1' is arranged so as to turn a portion of a circle on its axis. When turned to one position it opens into the spout and closes to the induction-pipe I), it being here in communication with the pump-barrel, and when turned to the other position it closes to the spout and opens to the induction-pipe I), still remaining also in communication with the pump-barrel. When the piston of the pump is down and an oiler to be filled is applied to the spout, the pipe 1 is turned so as to close to the induction-pipe b and open it to the spout, by which arrangement a slight raising of the piston draws out any oil remaining in the oiler. The pipe r is .then turned to the other position and the piston is again raised as high as the gage-stop k permits, whereby the pump-barrel below the piston is filled from the reservoir. Then the piston is forced down to the bottom of the pump-barrel, and thereby exactly fills the oiler at. the spout s.

In the elevated standing fountain B, I 10- cate a self-measurin g reservoir, G, for general use. It is situated immediately upon the bottorn of the standin g fountain, so that it may be filled therefrom by the simple flowing in of the oil. 'It is entirely shut off from the fountain except through a passage, t, extending downward and then upward "fli pl l tighthe fountaiiu- 1 bottom, and controlled by a two-way or rain I and well water cock, u,whi,ch has a handle,

11, whereby to operate it. This cock also comz municates with a discharge spout, w, and;

therefore acts as a faucet. vlfllfts arrangementis such that when it is turned to one position, as

7, and then,by turningit'back to the position represented in Fig. 8, the measured quantity of liquid is drawn Off.

A vent-tube, 2, extends, seem the top of the measiu-ing-reservoir to theai'r aboveffor aami'tting and disch'a'rgihgJtli'eaifr as the said reservoir is emptied and nuuwuii the liquid.

If desired, two or more-measuring-reservoirs haying the same "construction andtop'eration as the above described,,a'n'd measuring different quantities of'liqnid, maybe employed in the standing fountain,

It is best to have thebottomof the measurin g-reservoir a littl'einclined, orlowest at the orifice, so that the oil may all drain out, and thus render the measuring accurate.

The pipe j, connecting tlie"spout or no'zzle with the pump-barrel, ifs cu'rved upward higher than the top of the said 'piimp-barrel, to hold the oil in the same when full ant preveutan dripping from the spout or nozzle.

The whole apparatusiis inclosed in a'caseof woodwork, as shown, the intrmediateidrawing-chamber, 0, being. closed by a dooiror litl, H, Fig. 1, so that no dust gets inside and all is kept clean. ,l

Figs. 10, 11, and 12 represent the apparatus somewhat difl'erent in somefparticul'ai's from the apparatus as shown rune other figures,

but essentially similar in prineip eana generai construction.

Insteadof a tank or reservoir-fat thebdttfom,

asshown at A in Figs. 1 and e, tlrereinaybe a simple closet, A, with afloor, M, 'intowh'i'ch a barrel or storing-yesse ,1 is introduced. This barrel may be use I sa ermsn t part of the apparatus, and it V ay befilledfrom'an outside barrel or vessenasauov described.

Instead of an india-rttbber'oriother fle' ble pipe or tube, a siphon-pipe, al "of Tuner; fleet metal, with a coupling-piece, c ,and couplings, may be employed, as shown. This pipe may be coupled with the elevating-pipe 'b, extending from the upper part of the'standingfountain, through the chamber 0, thence do'wn through a funnel, K, leadipg into the barrel in the closet, the said 'funnel seryiti'g to collect the drip fromthe sink in the 'drawing ghztin ber (J.

The air-pipe J transfers air from the standin g fountain to the barrel as the oil is pumped from ithe latter-to vi thefsaid fountain, thereby equalizing the fiowofoiL a a a y ;-In this arrangement ofthe apparatus, also, I locate the measuring-vessels G G G beneath pressure and allowing a free .the standing fountain, as shown, the bottom of the said fountainbeing inclined laterally, so that theme'a'sures of diiferent sizes may be i i all atone height atthe bottom for-convenience in drawing therefrom. These vmeasures are convenientlymade oftheform shown, and

they are best made of sheet metal or-glass, the

" latter material being useful for allowing the interior of the measuressto' be seen. When made of sheet metal, if of small size they need no protection but "for large sizes the sheet metal-is preferably inoased in wood.

' 1 Each measure is "filled from the fountain above byapipe, t, which'lextends from the interior ofthe fountain down through the bottom thereof and through the measure, makes .a bend below the measure, and thence extends uprthrough the bottom of the measure, into the interior of i which it opens; In the bend of the pipe, below the measure,,are the two-way cock u, as above described, anda discharge-spout M or faucet, w,as shown. a

Each measure requiresfaveut-tube from its upperinteriorpart, toallow the escape of air when the measure: is filled, and to return air to the measure as the oil is drawn therefrom, This tube lextendupwardand into the standing fountain above, near the top,so that the measure and fountain relieve each other as the oil is drawn from one and the other, and since,'when the oil is let into a -measure, G, it

a is apt to ascend intotheair-escape tube, and

,culiarly arranged, as shown.

even to spurt from its upper endintothe per partof the fountain, the said fountainirequires to be covered at the top, which is ef fected by one of sheet metal, as show i V i The door H, inclosing the chambe O, is pe- It. includes the front and a part of one side, back to thestanding fountain, thus havinga solid corner. Thus,

on swinging it back, the Whole space forward of" the sta nding fountain is open and free .to workin. A lower door, M, openingfto the barrel-closet, may be similarly constructedaiul h g The whole apparatus or case is preferably linedwith sheet metal, the case ;itself being of wood. i

The combination of the reservoirA, stand-r V in g fountain B, provided with a series of meas- I urii'ig-reservoirs, G G G, drawing-chamber G, storing-chamber I, and pump D, constructed both as aca-n emptying and filling pump and as an elevating-pump, and operatingas de scribed, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose herein specified. t i
